Little Caesars Arena officially opens Tuesday, but we got a sneak peek at the shiny new building in downtown Detroit over the past two days.

As you can expect, we took a ton of photos! There is plenty to see in and around the arena, from the outside decor to the concourse to inside the arena bowl itself, much of which serves as a thoughtful tribute to both the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Pistons.

1. Detroit legends murals outside

Before you even walk into the building, you can see these "Spirit Murals," an awesome tribute to Detroit legends along the brick exterior, from Isiah Thomas to Eminem to Aretha Franklin to Joe Louis. They were created by Detroit artist Don Kilpatrick.

2. This Hockeytown wall graphic

Painted right on the west-side brick wall is a Detroit Red Wings "Hockeytown" script logo that looks super vintage and cool. Any way we can get this on the center ice?

3. The manhole covers

Some of the greatest Red Wings and Pistons players over the years are immortalized as manhole covers inside the Little Caesars Arena concourse. Has a nice, gritty "Hollywood Walk of Fame" style to it.

Sergei Fedorov may not have his No. 91 retired (yet), but at least he's got one of these.

4. The old Olympia Stadium letters

Little Caesars Arena has all kinds of tributes to the past, but this will really tickle the old-time Red Wings fans.

A piece of Olympia Stadium, where the Red Wings played and won several championships from 1927-79, has graced the concourse in the form of the original stadium letters.

They hang right next to a mural of Gordie Howe, who played his entire Wings career at Olympia Stadium.

Olympia Stadium, which originally had a seating capacity of 11,563 and stood at 5920 Grand River Ave., was demolished in 1987

5. That colorful ceiling

Remember the ugly blue ceiling inside Joe Louis Arena? You can kiss that goodbye. Little Caesars Arena's ceiling is quite colorful (like the rest of the bowl) when you walk in and see it for the first time.

It'll be interesting to see everything in action once both the NHL and NBA seasons begin.

6. The 'Biergarten'

It sounds like "beer garden," and that's basically what it is. The Budweiser Biergarten is a patio and lawn area just outside the arena's west side with an indoor "Budweiser Lounge" area. Sounds like a perfect place to get a pregame beer, especially during warmer weather.

10. The jewel skin

We only have glimpses of this thing in full form, but the jewel skin is going to light up the Little Caesars Arena concourse area once this arena's in action. It's made up of "hundreds of dimensional metal panels" and stretches 600 feet (or two football fields) from the southwest part of the concourse to the northeast.

Way, way, way more to check out!
